What people say about our training

Awesome instructor! I'm so glad to have found Webucator and all the wonderful resources (instructors and reference links) they provide.

Daina Mirsch

Instructor was well informed and awesome at sharing his knowledge of Outlook. He knew how to keep the class interesting and had a way with explaining Outlook to someone who would normally not understand. He answered all questions accurately and in detail. He was funny and knowledgeable.

One of the best online class experiences I've ever had. Courseware was logical and easy to follow. Examples were complete and fully functional. The instructor *REALLY* knows her stuff.
